Chapter 478 Epilogue
Chapter 478 Epilogue
They had already been transformed into blue-grey angel sculptures under the light of the "Original Ash Apostle", and a faint green aura began to seep out of the folds of the stone.
Such breath turned into green powder particles under the burning of ashes, quickly dissipated, and finally disappeared completely.
The corners of the eyes of the eerie-laughing angel sculpture began to show jagged gaps as if eroded by time. The rock texture exposed at the fracture was like some kind of ancient talisman. The milky white solid-liquid mixture of extraordinary power slid down the corners of their eyes like materialized liquid moonlight, forming two tear marks.
The extraordinary power in their bodies is being absorbed by the "Original Ash Apostles" at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, it seems that a new and unknown power is flowing into their bodies...
After observing for a while, Lin Yi suddenly sensed the way back, so he decisively gave up observing. With a thought, this will immediately penetrated the layers like flowing water, passed through the floors of the teaching building, and rushed towards Lin Yi's body on the 4th floor of the teaching building...
Just as his consciousness was passing through the stairwell, a familiar figure appeared in his perception.
"Yama-nan?!"
Lin Yi was startled, but he did not hesitate. He continued to go downstairs and disappeared at the staircase of Building C after turning a corner...
……
Not long after Lin Yi disappeared, the weird art teacher, along with Ren Jianxiong and other fanatics, finally arrived at Building C of the teaching building after a "long journey" in the storm.
Looking at the nocturnal species that almost covered the entire teaching building like creepers, the weird art teacher's eyes also showed a trace of fear, but the emotion in her eyes was soon replaced by enthusiasm...
She saw the open door of Class 18, Group C, and the eerily smiling angel sculptures that filled the classroom almost densely. Her body trembled more and her expression became more fanatical.
"Incredible... What a spectacular scene..."
Her voice trembled, and her cold golden eyes seemed to turn into a strange honeycomb shape in an instant, but then quickly returned to their original appearance.
She frowned slightly and shook her head gently, feeling vaguely that something was unusual, but couldn't find the source of the abnormality.
She rubbed her eyes and continued to walk towards the classroom carefully.
Ren Jianxiong had never seen such a scene. Although he was not afraid of low-level polluters like nocturnal species, ants could overwhelm elephants. This number of nocturnal species was enough to make his scalp tingle.
In the classroom, a large number of petrified and withering sculptures of eerily smiling angels gradually came into their sight.
It seemed that the only thing in the eyes of the weird art teacher was the burning ashes covering the sky. The "Original Ash Apostle" was floating outside the broken window of the classroom. It had not entered the classroom for a long time and it seemed that it would not enter the classroom at all. However, the burning ashes, combined with all the supernatural powers in the classroom, had turned the ashes themselves into goose feather-like flocs.
The weird art teacher greedily breathed in the air filled with flocs, with her eyes closed, her brows full of greed and joy.
"What a wonderful power..."
"This is no longer ashes... This is a power beyond ashes! The blessing of "Glorious Evolution"! The echo of the ancient bell!"
“It’s wonderful…it’s wonderful!!”
She was trembling with surprise, and a layer of gray light floated around her, as if she was covered with a layer of mist.
Other fanatics also began to absorb the extraordinary substances here. After the burning ashes turned into the form of Fibonacci numbers, they indeed acted like a whirlpool, extracting the breath in the ashes, the extraordinary power in the body of the Smiley Angel, and so on, and then stirred them into a pot of "stock", and now they are the first to taste this pot of "stock".
The weird art teacher greedily absorbed everything, like a mountain spirit or ghost stealing the incense from the gods.
Ren Jianxiong was also devouring non-stop, and his fat penguin-like body was shaking like waves.
All the gluttons were absorbed the ashes and supernatural power in the air, totally unaware that their bodies had begun to undergo some strange changes.
Their skin began to turn bluish-gray, like plaster eroded by time.
Ren Jianxiong saw his palms, his arms and clothes, and his petrified appearance. At first he didn't care, but suddenly he seemed to understand something and woke up as if he was poured with cold water.
He looked at his palm, which had returned to normal, but his eyes were still filled with intense fear.
"Hu, hu, hu..."
He took a deep breath. Even though he already had some understanding, he couldn't get his mind out of it at this moment.
“Just now… that was… huh, huh… what on earth was going on?”
Looking at the inhumane fanatic classmates around him and the weird art teacher with a perverted and weird expression, and then looking at himself now who was also greedy for everything, he felt cold from head to toe.
"Glorious Evolution...? No, it shouldn't be like this..."
He rushed towards the weird art teacher.
"Teacher! Teacher! Wake up! Wake up!"
He shook the weird art teacher frantically, but the weird art teacher shook him off with her backhand.
Ren Jianxiong's huge body was like a toy in the hands of the weird art teacher.
He fell heavily to the ground, and his heavy body even created a puddle on the rain-soaked ground.
"Don't waste time!" the weird art teacher shouted. She was in an evil state, but her mind seemed unusually clear. "Child, opportunities like this... don't come often!"
She looked at Ren Jianxiong deeply, and the cold and cruel look in her eyes made Ren Jianxiong feel frightened and his eyes were full of fear.
He shivered.
"Teacher... Teacher, I'd better go tell the Lord and the others about this news first. We..."
“Thump, thump, thump…”
Ren Jianxiong's vision flickered, and the strange art teacher who was originally not far away suddenly appeared in front of him like a slide.
The weird art teacher had an evil smile on her face, and her tone was so cold that Ren Jianxiong felt unfamiliar: "Listen to me...eat more!"
"But……"
Ren Jianxiong was frightened, but not because of the Laughing Angel sculpture and the unknown "Original Ash Apostle", but because of the strange female art teacher in front of him who suddenly became extremely strange from being familiar.
The weird art teacher's expression became more and more ferocious, her body was hunched over as if it was about to burst through her uniform, and she slowly approached him with her neck tilted.
"I...I understand."
He gritted his teeth and lay weakly on the ground, his fat body rising and falling gently.
The weird art teacher then turned around and continued to consume the extraordinary power and the breath of ashes bit by bit like a devout beggar, gradually entering the gate of Class 18, Group C.
Seeing the figure of the weird art teacher looking more and more like a hunchbacked witch, Ren Jianxiong quickly got up from the ground, gritted his teeth, and quickly returned along the way he came, running towards the green belt. But just after he ran a few steps, his vision flickered rapidly, and at the same time, a helpless sigh sounded in his ears.
His pupils condensed slightly, and then as if he understood something, he slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.
A hand pierced through his chest, holding a beating heart.
“Teacher…you…?!”
His face was filled with pain and disbelief, but the only response he got was a cold and hoarse voice: "In one's lifetime, there are only a few opportunities... I gave you a chance, but you couldn't grasp it."
After saying this, the hand suddenly exerted force, and Ren Jianxiong's heart exploded into a ball of blood.
The weird art teacher slowly pulled out her arm, and a hole appeared on Ren Jianxiong's chest, with flesh and blood moving and slowly healing.
Obviously, although his heart was crushed, he himself was not dead.
"Your Majesty..."
Ren Jianxiong was barely breathing, and his body numbly crawled on the ground, slowly crawling towards the covered bridge leading to the green forest belt.
The weird art teacher glanced at his body indifferently, narrowed her eyes, and used her black high heels to lift and kick the body, sending it into the pile of nocturnal species.
"What a good hawk dog, but unfortunately... I can't tame it."
The weird art teacher gnashed her teeth in anger and complained, "I only regret that my position is not noble enough... otherwise I would have such loyal subordinates..."
"It's almost there... After I enjoy this time, it's time for me to make a breakthrough..."
"Your Excellency? From now on, I should also be called 'Your Excellency'..."
Her eyes flickered as she slowly walked towards Class 18, Group C. As she walked, ashes and supernatural powers gathered around her. A pair of blurry and illusory wings loomed behind her.
Looking closely, the outline of an angel seemed to appear around her, and the angel made a gesture of hugging her, becoming more solid as she moved.
【Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become the shadow of an angel.】
……
Just when all the mysterious creatures were intoxicated by the ash glow of the "Original Ash Apostle", Shan Nan quietly climbed up to the 5th floor of the teaching building.
Today, his exoskeleton has not been much improved compared to yesterday. I guess this is the limit of that equipment.
Shan Nan held pocket watches in both of his hands, but the times on the watches were different. At first glance, it seemed that there was a difference of about 40 minutes.
He looked at the endless nocturnal species, and his bronze, resolute face couldn't help but turn pale.
He took a deep breath and walked slowly towards Class 18, Group C.
When he arrived at the door of Class 18, Group C, and saw the scene inside, he fell to the ground like a corpse.
After a while, Shannan took a deep breath and then got up from the ground again.
Looking at the classroom full of eerie smiling angel sculptures and the strange art teacher not far away who seemed to be praying devoutly, his eyes were full of hatred and anger, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
The exoskeleton armor then tightened the body, and the blue light surged on the outer shell like ripples, full of the technological style of the near future.
But Shannan did not take any action. Instead, he took deep breaths to gradually relax his tense spirit.
"Business is important... Business is important..."
He murmured these words over and over again, and then searched for something.
Finally, he finally stopped on the stairs of the classroom.
He crawled down and carefully searched for something in the area that was less than one square meter.
This is the last location reached by the Ashbringer Fireman before his annihilation.
Shan Nan kept searching, and finally, he seemed to have found something. He dug out an amber-like teardrop-shaped crystal from a crack in a pothole.
The surface of the crystal seemed to be flowing with gold, and the interior was covered with spider-silk-like structures. Some of the silk threads were very dense, while others were very sparse. This dense and sparse structure did not seem to be formed naturally, but was formed under the influence of external forces during its formation.
This is the trajectory left when the fire man was annihilated, the trace left when the supernatural power and burning ashes destroyed its body, and also... the trajectory of the ashes themselves.
"Found... the crystal of ash!!"
"That guy didn't lie to me. The puppet can really be used to collect ashes... but the cost is too high and the efficiency is low..."
Shannan held the crystal in his hands as if it were a treasure, his eyes filled with enthusiasm, but he didn't know why the purity of this crystal was much higher than he had expected.
Apart from that, Shannan had no intention of caring about what was happening. He suppressed his excitement, decisively packed up the crystal, and planned to leave.
However, at this moment, a strong sense of crisis enveloped Shan Nan. His exoskeleton armor automatically sounded an alarm, and a layer of air wave suddenly exploded at the tail, pushing his body away for a distance.
At the same time, there was a "bang!" sound, and the weird art teacher had appeared at his original position. She stomped her high heels on the place where he was originally, and the high heels and the ground were shattered together, and even her stockings were worn out a little.
If Shannan's exoskeleton armor had not reacted in advance, he would have been seriously injured at this moment.
Under the smoke and dust, the bluish-gray skin of the weird art teacher was revealed under her torn stockings.
"Followers of the Black Moon! The wandering ghosts that can't be annihilated!" Shan Nan spat softly, and subconsciously wanted to take off a piece of equipment that looked like a high-tech bomb from the exoskeleton armor, but his eyes caught sight of the eerily smiling angel sculptures surrounding the weird art teacher, and his movement subconsciously froze for a moment.
"Consider yourself lucky!"
Shannan said something and turned and ran away.
"Don't... run!" The weird art teacher was unwilling to let him go. She flashed to the door of the classroom like a ghost. Just as she was about to leave the classroom, a heavy stone slab flew towards her.
The weird art teacher was too late to dodge, and was hit on the head by the stone slab. She flew backwards and fell heavily into the classroom...
At the door, Shan Nan dropped the cracked slate in his hand, spat, "Damn it, if I can't deal with them, can't I deal with you?", then ran away without looking back.
The strange art teacher on the ground kept twitching, and her head quickly returned to its original state, but by the time she recovered, the mountain man had disappeared.
